    Best thing for you to do is to try to find as many link directories for games and so on as you can, make sure its listed in dmoz and try to buy a few relative advertising spaces even look at google adwords where you wont be paying much per click

    My site only has text links available (banner ads at the end of this month).

    It's a good idea to advertise on forums where people are into gaming and entertainment. Age groups about 12/14 - 28? BattleOn.com is known for such success.

    Think about your target audience, look around and try to focus on what best suits your website to get the right people visiting :)

    From my point of view, without good branding you won't get far with SEO and such.

    Since games like that can be pretty addictive, I'd say your best bet is to post in gaming forums asking people to try your game. Just make some posts before doing that. If you have done a proper job creating a good game, it'll pick up fast.

    And don't forget to use your users' emails! Email them asking to invite their friends - even provide incentives such as ingame gold (or whatever you have there). You won't believe what a few games would do to get advantage.

    An exceptional way to do marketing online while maximizing your budget is engaging in cross promotional advertising. When looking for those products to cross promote with you will want to look for those that will compliment your product, for example if you sell printers you will want to cross promote with a company that sells printer ink, paper, etc. And this is because you will not be competing against another company you will be enhancing both of your products at no cost for advertising. This will provide convenience for your customer because they will have all they need on your website.

    Also this company (csgserver.com) offers a really great marketing tool for online marketing called Traffic Blazer, I use it and it works really well for my company.
